Zhuge Liang acted extremely quickly and sent someone to deliver the news the next day.
Five days later, the prisoner trade took place.
This made Xu Shu very angry.
In just five days, his mother turned into a prisoner!
Fortunately, Xu Shu's hatred for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had already reached the sky and could not go any further.
Otherwise, I have to suggest that Liu Zhang take the opportunity to deploy heavy troops and kill Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang!
The prisoner exchange location was not in Yiling. Zhuge Liang chose the nearest city to the east of Huya Mountain.
Zhijiang.
Zhijiang is at the junction of the Yangtze River and Zhanghe River, located in the Nanjun Plain.
The view here is wide and it is impossible to ambush soldiers and disrupt normal exchanges.
There is good protection for both Liu Zhang and Liu Bei.
Even though they are in Liu Bei's territory, because they are close to the Yangtze River and Zhang River, the navy can run rampant without restraint.
Liu Bei's Nanjun navy was completely destroyed. One of his two generals was killed and the other was captured. The navy system was almost lost.
On the other hand, Liu Zhang's Yu Fu Shui Army rampaged across the Yangtze River and was almost invincible.
The presence of the navy also ensured that Liu Zhang did not have any safety concerns.
At worst, the whole army boarded the ship and Liu Bei stared at him on the shore.
At the same time, the distance between Zhijiang and Huya Mountain is not very far. If the infantry marches in a hurry, the distance can only be one hour at most.
Zhuge Liang took great pains to choose this position to inform Liu Zhang, almost perfectly considering Liu Zhang's safety.
For Liu Bei, security is also very good. As long as the army enters the city, it is enough to not be afraid of any threats.
In fact, Zhuge Liang is completely overthinking. For the current Liu Zhang, he is not afraid of any conspiracy.
Even if the transaction location is Jiangling, there is no fear.
A city like Zhijiang that allowed Liu Zhang to occupy the right time, place and people agreed without hesitation.
Five days flew by.
Early that morning, Liu Zhang took Pang Tong and Xu Shu as military advisors, Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Wei Yan as generals, led 30,000 elite troops, and headed straight for Zhijiang.
With the navy in absolute control of the Yangtze River, the entire army boarded ships and marched along the waterway.
Thirty thousand troops, plus more than 10,000 prisoners, the warships covered the sky and the sun, with a huge momentum!
It was no less than the scene when the troops returned from Yu and marched into Yiling!
More than two hundred stern boats lined up one after another, with numerous boats interspersed in between, completely occupying the entire river surface.
This momentum alone is enough to make people tremble with fear.
Especially Guan Yu, the first general of Liu Bei's army, felt extremely depressed when he saw this scene.
Apart from Jiangdong Navy, probably no one in the world can compete with them for supremacy!
The navy establishment alone is enough for Liu Bei to chase for several years!
It was at this moment that Guan Yu realized again how different Liu Bei's power was from Liu Zhang's power.
On the way down the river, the navy's speed was extremely alarming.
It only took more than an hour for the army to arrive at the bank of Zhijiang River.
The exchange location agreed upon by both parties was not at the foot of Zhijiang City, but somewhere in the middle from Zhijiang to the Yangtze River.
Liu Zhang immediately ordered the army to abandon the ship and land ashore.
After 20,000 infantry troops landed, more than 10,000 prisoners of Liu Bei's army began to be unloaded from the ships like cargo.
After these months of torture, these soldiers' eyes were blurred and they had completely lost their consciousness as soldiers.
Generals such as Guan Yu, Liao Hua, Fu Kuang, and Feng Xi were gathered together, and their treatment was much better than that of soldiers.
However, everyone couldn't help but feel a little angry when they saw the former elite soldier being so decadent.
Especially Guan Yu, the number one general in Jingzhou, could not contain the anger in his heart.
Perhaps because he learned that he was about to be released, his desire for revenge against Liu Zhang became fully active.
"Today's shame will be repaid with my own hands sooner or later!"
Fu Kuang was shocked when he heard this and quickly winked at Guan Yu.
"General Guan, don't talk too much!"
"My lord must have paid a high price in exchange for us. We should settle the matter after regaining our freedom!"
Liao Hua also nodded repeatedly after hearing this and agreed with Fu Kuang's words.
"Yes, General Guan please calm down!"
"It is better to do less than to do more at this time. Don't give Liu Zhang an excuse to leave us behind!"
Guan Yu's eyes were full of anger and he glared at the two of them fiercely.
"Humph, you cowardly fellow!"
"It's just Liu Zhang, so what's the point of fear?"
"Sooner or later, I will personally take off Liu Zhang's head and make him pay for what happened today!"
Two defeated generals actually dared to teach him how to do things?
Jiangbei's army was completely wiped out, but Guan Yu hasn't settled the score with them yet!
After returning, you will definitely not be lenient!
Fu Kuang and Liao Hua looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
How long has it been since this happened and you are still talking nonsense?
If you are so awesome, why were you captured?
However, the two of them knew Guan Yu's position in Liu Bei's power and did not dare to offend him, otherwise they would have to retaliate.
They couldn't convince Guan Yu anyway, so Fu Kuang and Liao Hua didn't bother to talk to Guan Yu and lowered their heads one after another.
Guan Yu was even more furious when he saw this. This was undoubtedly a sign of waste.
"Hmph, useless stuff!"
"Hey, who made General Guan so angry?"
An extremely inappropriate voice suddenly came, and it was full of disdain and contempt.
Especially the word "General Guan" doesn't seem like a good word.
Guan Yu was immediately embarrassed. He would never forget this voice even if it turned into ashes!
Liu Zhang suddenly appeared!
Then Guan Yu glared at Liao Hua and Fu Kuang again.
I didn't expect that these two crows' mouths were so effective. Just as they said not to cause more trouble, Liu Zhang appeared.
"Why, Mr. Qin can't bear to leave Guan?"
Since Guan Yu was surrounded by Jingzhou generals, he naturally could not lose face too much, so he remained stern and unyielding.
Liu Zhang walked up to Guan Yu and showed an evil smile.
"General Guan is really smart. Why don't you go back to Yiling with me and stay for a few more days?"
Guan Yu was shocked when he heard this, and quickly refused, his tone softened instantly.
"Haha, Mr. Qin is joking!"
"Guan doesn't dare to bother Duke Qin too much. It's better not to cause any trouble to Duke Qin!"
Guan Yu had no doubt that Liu Zhang had the ability to keep him.
Liu Zhang's behavior is inherently unpredictable. If he is really out of his mind and won't let people go, there will be nothing anyone can do.
If all the prisoners released this time were released, but he was kept, then Guan Yu would only be able to return to Liu Bei in a dream!
"I heard just now that General Guan is going to cut off Gu's head in person, because of the shame of being captured with blood?"
Guan Yu complained endlessly in his heart, why did Liu Zhang hear the harsh words he just said!
Before he spoke, he glanced around obviously and did not see Liu Zhang.
It’s really unlucky that his mother opened the door for him, he’s so unlucky!
If he was detained because of one sentence, Guan Yu would have no place to cry.
"Mr. Qin, you... heard wrong!"
At this point, Guan Yu couldn't care less about Liao Hua and what Fu Kuang and others thought of him, so he could only forcefully surrender.
If anything happens, you have to release it first!
Anyway, he and Liu Zhang are sworn enemies, so it doesn’t hurt to have more hatred!
